  • total mind fuck

  • I actually have...

  • imagine military camouflage... hmmm.

  • Rorschach masks anyone?

  • One application I'm sure this will yield is security measures for checks. We already have heat-sensitive ink and abrasion ink, but a Magnetochromatic ink would make for really easy validity checking.

  • I wonder if this has anything to do with the "color changing paint" for cars that I heard about a a few years ago. Cool stuff.

  • might make a good magnetic feild sensor

    make them really cheap and have it like visually show the feild

    or make screens with it or something

  • Maybe in the future colour-refracting versions will be developed for camouflaging!
